Kenya
Our dream is to see Kenyan’s equipped with tools and strategy to see their nation transformed. We believe that a nations ability to pull themselves out of poverty lays in the people themselves.  We believe that we all need mentors, people who believe in us and support us, someone to come alongside us and give us a leg up.
We partner with local Kenyans to bring lasting change, working with them to identify key areas of need and how best to support. Through our work on the ground, it's become clear that there are 3 key areas of focus; education, health, and entrepreneurship.Â
Education
In the communities we serve, children abound. With the average mother caring for 4 to 6 children, sending her kids to school is one of her top concerns. With the average wage often being under $2/day, it's often financially unfeasible to send her child through to high school.
School buildings are often built from sticks and mud, with textbooks well worn and shared between too many. Teachers often simply have a high school education, without any formal training or support.
Our mission is not to start new schools, instead, we build relationships with the existing schools that are already supporting the community. We partner where we are needed; building permanent school buildings, equipping teachers, and supplying workbooks and desks.Â
Entrepreneurship
We help kickstart sustainable businesses within the communities we serve, encouraging entrepreneurship and creative problem-solving. A few of the projects we've been involved in include:
- Livestock cooperatives (such as the Ku-Ku initiative)
- Trades skill training
- Organic farming (in connection with Organics for Orphans)
- New industry (Earth Blocks)
Health
Healthy people make healthy communities. Some of the areas we help within the communities we partner with include:
- Digging clean water wells
- Distributing water filters
- Feminine Hygiene training, including how to make reusable sanitary pads
- Treating Jiggers (a sand flea that lays eggs inside a person's feet or hands)
- Providing basic medical care
